Boycott camping in Second Life

*** This is not a petition to ban camping -
just a place for like-minded SLers to express discontent and to make their voices be heard ;)
DEFINITION OF CAMPING IN SECOND LIFE:
\"Being rewarded in-game money by objects which require the user to be INactive for as long as possible. The general payout is $3L per 10 minutes (Less than 5 cents in real life)\"
FIVE REASONS WHY CAMPING SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED:
1. $3L for 10 minutes is not worth it.
2. This is not entertainment.
3. Less camping means less traffic for the places that give Second Life a bad name - clubs, casinos, public sex spots - and more traffic for the places that are truly quality, like live music venues, museums, parks, sandboxes, and etc.
4. Your electric bills will be lower and your computer will live a longer life.
5. Less coal will be burned to supply energy to your computer and this will be much better for the environment as well as for the future generations.

Camping has been abused for too long--if they can't play nicely, cut 'em off. :)

I run a business in SL. People buy my stuff too.
But to find another business ahead of me in the search list--when he sells junk, but has 20 campers out there (and possibliy using his own alts to fill them) really makes me angry.
People that spend the time, effort and money to build a real busness in second life are being used to pay for lazy--"give me something for nothing" jerks that are flooding SL Now.
If lindens want to give the noobs some spending money they should increase the stripend. If you look at the statistics--that is the smallest category of money spent--instead we have to buy classified ads to get ahead of the cheaters here. And that is really all it is--cheating.

Camping also sucks down sim resources, reducing the number of people who can be present actually enjoying themselves or doing something productive.
